The nickel and dime components, such as gates and PALS, resistors
and capacitors, are hard to pin down until the schematic is complete. These
should mostly be in your engineering spares closet. Again, part of planning
is making sure your lab has the basic stuff needed for doing the job, from
soldering irons to engineering spares. Make sure you have a good selection
of the sort of components your company regularly uses, and avoid the
temptation to use new parts unless there’s a good reason.
